vagina

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I think my vagina is too tight/small. Although I have been having sex for almost a year, it is still often painful afterwards (if not during), and it snaps back to it's original state.

Why are women sticking crystals in their vaginas? WHY? WHY? Gurl reports that Cosmo (aside from teaching it's readers how to give the perfect blow job without mouths, hands or feet and a flame thrower - or whatever) that women are getting surgery to have crystals implanted into their vaginas to increase energy.

There are a lot of things you're going to have to worry about in this lifetime: What's that lump? What's that noise? Whose panties are these? Etc. But there are some things better worth enjoying, like sex and crushes. This week, why to ease off the self-pressure to alter your behavior on either.

The vagina. It has more nicknames than just about any other body part, and when you say it out loud there are some people who will still look at you like you’re insane. I once had a health teacher who made the entire class yell “penis” and “vagina” to break the ice before we started our sex ed unit. Say it with me everybody, vagina! In the spirit of that teacher, I’ve put together some crazy facts about the vagina.

I still remember the first time I learned the word vagina. I also still remember the first time my classmate, Matt, learned the word vagina, because he sat next to me in first grade and said this word out loud every ten seconds as he giggled away. I wish I could say the standard giggle/vagina combination went away with age, but the truth is I just got a Brazilian wax and still found myself slightly giggling.

Do you love your vajayjay? Worship your mini haha? Wish there was a song written about your pixie purse? If you found yourself standing on your desk chair yelling, "Me! Me! I'm obsessed with my funny bunny!" well then, girlfriend, do I have a treat for you...

There's been a growing trend in the vag-o-sphere. And it's all about making your lady parts look pretty and shiny and....bedazzled?! Yes. Bedazzled. Because it's no longer about the sexy lingerie and the sexy banter. It's all about dressing up your vagina like every sexual encounter is a debutante ball for your most fun body part.

Q: I don’t really know how to ask this so I’ll just get right to it. I’m still a virgin and I’m the only one left in my group. All my girl friends lost their virginity this year and have been telling me how much it hurt. Now I’m scared! Is it really that bad? And is there anything I can do to....prepare? Or should I just buy some cats now and grow old as a single, virgin spinster?

Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve - why not wear your vulva around your neck? Yes, one "artist" is now making that possible by taking an exact replica of your lady parts and turning them into one of these beauties. No need to skimp on the underwear anymore, ladies. Now you need only slip one of these over your head to flash everyone your Britney.

First there was douche. We let those commercials for vagina potpourri slide by, even though sucking out our precious woman fluids isn’t healthy. Then came the WaterWorks commercials, which literally advertise a mini showerhead you stick up your vaginal canal to rinse it. Then wet wipes started popping up on toilet tanks nationwide. And now….the vagina mint.

Q: Everyone is always talking about Kegel exercises. Do those things really help? And do we really need to do them? I’ve had a boyfriend for 3 years (and we’ve been having regular sex for the entire time), so is it possible that I’m not as “toned” down there as I could be? Is that something I need to worry about?

Q: I’m a little concerned about the way things smell and taste downtown. It’s not like anyone has told me anything is funky down there, but I’ve had lots of guys perform oral sex on me once and never do it again. What can I do to clean it up (you know, if that is the problem)?

My roommate recently told me a story. It was a bit graphic in nature, so I won't share the dirty details here, but it involved her, her boyfriend, and an orgasm so intense she actually experienced female ejaculation. Yeah, maybe we share a little too much information.

Q: This is a really gross question, but I have to ask someone. I discharge...a lot. And it’s not just around the time of my period. It’s random and plentiful. Ew. Anyways, I don’t know what to do about it or if it's caused by something serious? Help. I’m afraid to be with a boy because he’ll be super grossed out.

Foreskin may be the only uncharted territory Americans have no desire to conquer. In our country, circumcision is common enough that a foreskin-free penis is the expectation, but elsewhere, that's hardly the case. Though it remains the most common elective operation globally, the majority of men in the world don't undergo it. Surprised?

Tatiata Kozhevnikova, a 42-year-old Russian woman, is the proud holder of the world's strongest vagina. The mind boggles with questions. How do you go about strengthening your vagina? Are there specific vagina weights? A vagina class at your local gym (um, THAT'S an awkward, sweaty hour...)?

What would we do without the internet? Seriously, we use it to shop, to study, to communicate, to be entertained...and to get answers to the questions we're not quite sure how to ask. Questions like this one:
